Great Family Holiday
Loved the house and the location! Was a perfect family getaway and close to everything we needed. Only thing that would have made it even better was a bbq at the house to utilise on the amazing deck set up. Other than that it was an amazing stay thank you!

Well presented, in a great location. Property managers were great, in dealing with a few issues.
Lovely relaxing property. A BBQ would be great & some better lighting. However great property overall, the sunsets at Horseshoe Bay are amazing & food at SaltWater to die for.

Very relaxing stay.
My wife and I had intentions of just relaxing on our stay on magnetic Island and that's exactly what we did, our watch went in the draw and stayed there. Our accommodation was very private, it had everything you needed, especially a great pool which we used every day, we strolled around the island and swam at horseshoe Bay drank coffee at the great Cafes the island has to offer and then come back to our pool and sit on the deck while listening to the birds sing. We would recommend our stay at whispering palms to everyone who wants to unwind and relax.

Beautiful house in a central location
Loved staying at the house. It had everything we needed to enjoy our time. Only disappointed in the bikes being in pieces and there were a few maintenance things to fix but overall the property is beautiful and was great for 3 couples and a child. Favourite part was the giant bathtub that looked out to the stars.

A little paradise getaway great for family and friends.
Almost 5star.....3 things that could boost the ratings. 1....Need lights in pool for hot Summer nights. 2....Need a portable BBQ on deck(although inside kitchen has everything you need for cooking) 3....Alot of landscape maintenance required. Lawns to be mowed and alot of fallen palm leaves and debris needed some attention. We found a tree snake (harmless) near the pool where my kids were swimming. We mowed the lawns ourself on arrival but needed a big skip bin for palm leaves. Otherwise 5star!!! we love the house itself!!!!....got everything you need for a holiday with friends and family, even the island has supermarkets and liquor stores.
